Hi Birders: I am trying to " round up " another 2 or 3 birders to form a group of birders, ( around 6 max.), who might be interested in a birding tour of Northern Colombia either the last two weeks of June, 2020, or, maybe into July. This is the beginning of the dry season there.
I did a tour with some fellow birders this past July, ( 2019 ) with a local birding company out of Cali. It was great.
Now I am looking to organize another tour for the above dates in 2020 with the same company. The emphasis of the tour will be on bird photography, not on seeing the most birds possible over that span of time. Our rule of thumb on our last tour was we don't move on until birders are okay with their pics.
That still means longish days as our guides will try to get us onto the most birds possible under those circumstances. I have an itinerary already planned out with the head guide which I would be happy to send along to anyone interested. The tour will start in Pereira Colombia, and end in Baranquilla, ( both have international airports ), and will take in some great birding locations like Nevado National Park and the Santa Marta Mountains with 2 nights at the El Dorado Lodge. Many endemic birds are possible. If interested drop me a line, and I can send you the proposed itinerary. I am enclosing my e-mail address as well; thormanson@live. com.
Thanks, Thor
